Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for at least partially attaching a lamp unit to a vehicle according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the luminaire housing is mounted on a generic device to the body of the vehicle.
  • the device comprises a holding means which has a first holding element and a second holding element cooperating with the first holding element.
  • the first holding element is designed as a bolt which is received in a correspondingly formed receiving space in the second holding element.
  • a binding / adhesive is introduced in the receiving space. The binding / adhesive can be activated by means of microwaves and then hardened.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a device for at least partially attaching a lamp unit to a vehicle, which is easy and quick to produce.
  • the invention relates to a device for at least partially attaching a lamp unit to a vehicle having a holding means, which has a first holding element and a second holding element cooperating with the first holding element, wherein the first holding element in a binding / adhesive containing receiving space of the second holding element at least partially recorded.
  • the binding / adhesive can be heated by means of inductive heating and thus activated.
  • the bolt and / or contained in the binder / adhesive in particular ferromagnetic elements or particles are heated by induction. These elements or particles can eg be ferromagnetic metal chips or, for example, nanoparticles.
  • the induction can be effected by means of microwave irradiation.
  • the heat can be supplied much faster than with conventional methods.
  • the heat that is to be supplied to the binding / adhesive very precisely dosed.
  • this makes it possible to use adhesive volumes with a large adhesive thickness.
  • the large adhesive volumes in turn allow a four- or five-dimensional alignment of the first holding element in the receiving space of the second holding element and thereby a four- or five-dimensional tolerance compensation in the production of light units of vehicles, with four- or five-dimensional spatial directions x, y, z as well as two angles are meant.
  • a very homogeneous adhesive layer results after curing. That a homogeneous adhesive behavior over the entire length of the first holding element is produced.
  • there is a simple structure of a device performing the method since, for example, no shielding of the adhesive point to the environment is necessary.
  • the binding / adhesive can be heated via the inductive heating of the first holding element and thus activated.
  • components can be heated, which are embedded, for example, in a further material, such as plastic.
  • the heating or the activation of the binding / adhesive in the receiving space is independent of the geometry of the first holding means.
  • the bonding can be done under stable process conditions. In addition, no combustion phenomena occur, whereby rejects are largely avoided.
  • the first holding means may be formed of a metallic material.
  • the second holding element for inductive heating of the first holding element by an induction coil can be acted upon. This results in an advantageous manner an easy-to-use and cost-effective way to heat the first support member.
  • the first holding element is to be acted upon by a pyrometric temperature measuring device, which regulates the power of the induction coil.
  • the device according to the invention allows a very accurate and easy to implement temperature control.
  • the embodiment of the device allows an inductive heating of the first holding element on the basis of a predetermined induction temperature profile, which advantageously results in a bubble-free, homogeneous adhesive structure in the receiving space of the second holding element. In particular, rejects are largely avoided as there are no combustion phenomena.
  • the first retaining element is held cohesively in the receiving space with activated binder / adhesive. This makes it possible in a simple and effective manner that the first holding element is securely held in the receiving space of the second holding element.
  • the first holding means is designed as a bolt. This embodiment enables easy manufacturability of the first holding means and a stable connection between the first and second holding element.
  • the second holding means is designed as formed on the lamp unit dome, in which the receiving space is arranged.
  • the bolt has a support flange.
  • the flange is a support surface relative to a vehicle body in the installed state of the lamp unit, preferably a tail light.
  • the immersion depth of the pin in the dome is not affected by this.
  • a tolerance compensation in all directions remains so, as this preferably always has to be variable.
  • the first holding element consists of at least one metallic material. Conveniently, this makes it possible to use a simple, inexpensive component, in particular a standard part.
  • the second holding element consists of at least one plastic.
  • the binder / adhesive is a preferably thermosetting epoxy adhesive.
  • this adhesive allows a bubble-free adhesive structure in an induction process.
  • the bandage / adhesive may preferably be indirectly heated and thus activated.
  • the indirect heating is preferably carried out by inductive heating of the first holding means and / or by inductive heating of metal particles contained in the binder / adhesive, in particular of ferromagnetic particles contained in the binder / adhesive.
  • the binder / adhesive may also contain metal particles, e.g. Aluminum particles included.
  • Fig. 1 shows a section through an inventive device 10 for at least partially attaching a lamp unit 12 to a vehicle 14.
  • the lamp unit 12 is the lamp unit 12 to the rear lamp of the vehicle 14.
  • the lamp unit 12 includes a lamp housing 32, in which a reflector 34 and a lighting means 36, such as a light bulb or an LED are.
  • the luminaire housing 32 has a light exit disc 38, through which the light emitted by the illuminant 36 emits light to the outside.
  • the lamp unit 12 is at least partially fastened with its lamp housing 32 via the device 10 according to the invention to a body 40 of the vehicle 14.
  • the luminaire unit 12 can also be fastened to the vehicle 14 or to the body 40 of the vehicle 14 via further fastening devices that appear appropriate to a person skilled in the art, such as, for example, screw or clip connections.
  • the reflector 34 is integrated in the present embodiment in the lamp housing 32, which is welded to the light exit plate 38 in a known manner.
  • the luminaire housing 32 and the light exit disk 38 form, with the body 40 of the vehicle 14, a predetermined gap 44, which has a constant small width over the circumference of the luminous unit 12.
  • the luminaire housing 32 is located in front of an installation opening 56 in the body 40. Behind the installation opening 56 is a connection part 58 which covers the installation opening 56 in the installation position of the device 10 from the rear side. From the connection part 58 are ribs 60 which protrude through the mounting hole 56 and on which the lamp housing 32 rests.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung zum mindestens teilweisen Befestigen einer Leuchteneinheit an einem Fahrzeug bereitzustellen, welche einfach und schnell herstellbar ist.The invention has for its object to provide a device for at least partially attaching a lamp unit to a vehicle, which is easy and quick to produce.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß mit den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved with the characterizing features of claim 1.

Die Erfindung geht aus von einer Vorrichtung zum mindestens teilweisen Befestigen einer Leuchteneinheit an einem Fahrzeug mit einem Haltemittel, das ein erstes Halteelement und ein mit dem ersten Halteelement zusammenwirkendes, zweites Halteelement aufweist, wobei das erste Halteelement in einem Binde/Klebemittel enthaltenden Aufnahmeraum des zweiten Halteelements mindestens teilweise aufgenommen ist. Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung ist vorgesehen, dass das Binde/Klebemittel mittels induktiver Erwärmung erwärmbar und damit aktivierbar ist. Vorteilhaft kann der Bolzen und/oder im Binde/Klebemittel enthaltene insbesondere ferromagnetische Elemente oder Partikel durch Induktion erwärmt werden. Diese Elemente oder Partikel können z.B. ferromagnetische Metallspäne sein oder z.B. Nanopartikel. Vorteilhaft kann die Induktion mittels Mikrowelleneinstrahlung erfolgen.The invention relates to a device for at least partially attaching a lamp unit to a vehicle having a holding means, which has a first holding element and a second holding element cooperating with the first holding element, wherein the first holding element in a binding / adhesive containing receiving space of the second holding element at least partially recorded. In the device according to the invention it is provided that the binding / adhesive can be heated by means of inductive heating and thus activated. Advantageously, the bolt and / or contained in the binder / adhesive in particular ferromagnetic elements or particles are heated by induction. These elements or particles can eg be ferromagnetic metal chips or, for example, nanoparticles. Advantageously, the induction can be effected by means of microwave irradiation.

Hierdurch kann die Wärme viel schneller zugeführt werden als mit herkömmlichen Verfahren. Mit der induktiven Erwärmung ist die Wärme, die dem Binde/Klebemittel zugeführt werden soll, sehr genau dosierbar. In vorteilhafter Weise ist hierdurch der Einsatz bei Klebemittelvolumina mit großer Klebemitteldicke möglich. Die großen Klebemittelvolumina wiederum ermöglichen eine vier- bzw. fünfdimensionale Ausrichtung des ersten Halteelements im Aufnahmeraum des zweiten Halteelements und dadurch einen vier- bzw. fünfdimensionalen Toleranzausgleich bei der Fertigung von Leuchteinheiten von Fahrzeugen, wobei mit vier- bzw. fünfdimensional die Raumrichtungen x, y, z sowie zwei Winkel gemeint sind. Es ergibt sich der Vorteil einer sehr schnellen Aushärtung, was in vorteilhafter Weise geringere Zykluszeiten bei der Fertigung von Leuchteneinheiten für Fahrzeuge nach sich zieht. Insbesondere ergibt sich eine sehr homogene Klebemittelschicht nach dem Aushärten. D.h. es wird ein homogenes Klebemittelverhalten über die gesamte Länge des ersten Halteelements erzeugt. Ferner ergibt sich ein einfacher Aufbau einer das Verfahren durchführenden Einrichtung, da beispielsweise keine Abschirmung der Klebemittelstelle zur Umgebung hin notwendig ist.As a result, the heat can be supplied much faster than with conventional methods. With the inductive heating, the heat that is to be supplied to the binding / adhesive, very precisely dosed. Advantageously, this makes it possible to use adhesive volumes with a large adhesive thickness. The large adhesive volumes in turn allow a four- or five-dimensional alignment of the first holding element in the receiving space of the second holding element and thereby a four- or five-dimensional tolerance compensation in the production of light units of vehicles, with four- or five-dimensional spatial directions x, y, z as well as two angles are meant. This results in the advantage of a very rapid curing, which advantageously leads to shorter cycle times in the manufacture of lighting units for vehicles. In particular, a very homogeneous adhesive layer results after curing. That a homogeneous adhesive behavior over the entire length of the first holding element is produced. Furthermore, there is a simple structure of a device performing the method, since, for example, no shielding of the adhesive point to the environment is necessary.

Die Klebung kann unter stabilen Prozessbedingungen erfolgen. Zudem treten keine Verbrennungserscheinungen auf, wodurch Ausschussteile weitgehend vermieden werden. Besonders bevorzugt kann das erste Haltemittel aus einem metallischen Werkstoff gebildet sein.Preferably, the binding / adhesive can be heated via the inductive heating of the first holding element and thus activated. Preferably, components can be heated, which are embedded, for example, in a further material, such as plastic.

Since the first holding member 18 is mounted only after the assembly of the lamp unit 12, the individual and manufacturing tolerances can be eliminated to a large extent. After immersing the first holding member 18 in the bandage / adhesive 22, this is heated and thus activated.

Die Lichtaustrittsscheibe 38 und das zweite Halteelement 20 ausbildende Leuchtengehäuse 32 werden bevorzugt im Spritzgießverfahren hergestellt, bedampft und miteinander verschweißt. Die beiden miteinander verschweißten Teile werden dann vorteilhaft über zwei Vorzugskanten an der Lichtaustrittsscheibe 38 zur späteren Lage im Fahrzeug 14 ausgerichtet. Die Halteelemente 18 können über eine Positioniervorrichtung, wie einen Handlingroboter, positioniert und eingebracht werden, wobei die Halteelemente 18 unterschiedlichste Gestaltungen haben können.

The light exit plate 38 and the second holding member 20 forming luminaire housing 32 are preferably produced by injection molding, vapor-deposited and welded together. The two parts welded together are then advantageously aligned over two preferred edges on the light exit plate 38 for later location in the vehicle 14. The holding elements 18 can be positioned and introduced via a positioning device, such as a handling robot, wherein the holding elements 18 can have very different designs.
